Question (24 Safar 1428/Mar. 14, 2007)

Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatu lilahi wa barakatuh

A) I have a copy of the Quran by the way of Warsh. I have noticed that in many places (in Warsh), there is a black dot underneath many words. For example in surat Ghafir verse 1 (ha miim), there is a black dot under the letter "ha" as well as in the verse 41 of that same surat (Ghafir) under the word "an Naar". These are just two examples; thus I would like to know the
purpose of those dots underneath words I believe containing an alif. In other words, is there a special way of reading when encountering those dots?

B) Among the 7 recitations, which one should a Muslim move to right after the completion of the Quran by Hafs? Should he/she learn Asoosy or Khalaf ‘an Hamzah? In another words which recitation is much more easier to learn right after Hafs?

Question (17 Safar 1428/Mar. 7, 2007)

Assalau Alaykum

I couldn’t find anything in the Rules for Warsh section of your site regarding the leen medd followed by sukoon, so I assume that this means that the rules are the same as those for Hafs. Is this correct?

I have tajweed book which says that, when stopping on the word, the medd can be 2, 4 or 6 counts – as it is for Hafs – but I also have another book which says it can only be 4 or 6 counts. Which is correct?

Do the rules for Hafs about the presented sukoon lengthening being stronger than the leen medd and resulting restrictions when both of these medd are present in the same phrase also apply to Warsh?Many thanks. Wassalam

PS: The webpage on your site for Lesson 14 of the Rules for Warsh does not work and has been inaccessible for quite some time.

Question (17 Safar 1428/Mar. 7, 2007)

Assalamu aleikum

In the book entitled: "Tajweed Rules of the Qur'an part 2" on page 23 (Letters that are lightened sometimes and are made heavy other times) it is written that:
" The alif is not characterized as having tafkheem or tarqeeq, but instead it is known to follow the letter preceding it as to tafkheem or tarqeeq. If a tafkheem letter precedes it then it also has tafkheem...".
My question is: Does this rule apply also to the other light letters such as "baa" and "miim"? For example the word "Al-BaSiir" (Surah 42 verse 11) and "Al-MaSiir" (Surah 40 verse 3). The "baa" in "Al-BaSiir" is light but is followed by the "Saad" which is a heavy letter; the same with the "miim" in "Al-MaSiir". Therefore should the "baa" and "miim" be pronounced light or heavy?

Question (5 Safar 1428/Feb. 23, 2007)

Assalamu alaikum

Please can you tell me the difference between ikhfaa shafawi and Iqlab rules. I am a new learner of Tajweed without a teacher, and am getting a bit confused. I understand that iqlab is the alteration of noon sakin or tanwin into a mim sakin if the letter ba comes after it. Ikhfaa shafawi is the concealment of the mim sakin if a ba comes after it. Yet when I am listening to the Qari recite (Abdullah Basfar), both sounds appear the same.

Question (5 Safar 1428/Feb. 23, 2007)

Salam "Alaykum,

I happens to be in Tajweed class which I found very interesting, My question now is " is it compulsory to apply these rules? What if one finds some alphabets difficult to pronounce? What can one do to improve?

Question (5 Safar 1428/Feb. 23, 2007)

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi

I have 2 questions

1. I always thought the letter laam was pronounced with the tip of the tongue, but found lately after reading a book by Dr. Yahyah Alghouthani and speaking to other shuyukh that the "laam" like the "dhaad" is pronounced from the side of the tongue to the tip either from left side or right side. Can u give some clarity on this?

2. What is meant by "itbaaq ashafatayn"when pronouncing the "ikhfa shafawi" and "iqlaab"

Question (18 Muharram 1428/Feb. 6, 2007)

Bismil-Lāhir-Rahmānir-Raheem.

’Assalāmu ‘alaikum wa rahmatul-Lāhi wa barakātuh,

Does the nabr affect the timing of the first letter of the shaddah, for example the first yaa’ in:

1 : 5: ’iyyāka, and 2 : 255: hayyu, (and similarly with the waaw and still other cases,)

or

is the timing the same as the normal timing for letters with the characteristic of ’arrakhāwah (or the appropriate characteristic group the letter is from) when sākin and the normal timing of yā’un sākinah but not leen nor madd?

Question (11 Muharram 1428/Jan. 30, 2007)

Assalam-u-Alaikum

I have some questions; I hope you can answer them.

1. In Surah Hujurat, v.9, Allah, in the Holy Quran says:

A. Is there a Madd on ?

2. In part 1, p.52 of Tajweed Rules of the Qur’an, it says: “Mim Idgham is ‘Idgham Sagheer’ because the first letter is Sakin and the second letter has vowel.” Can we call Nun Idgham ‘Idgham Sagheer’ because in this situation Nun is Sakin and the next letter has vowel on it? Could you kindly give examples of Idgham Kabeer.

3. Can I confirm that the articulation points for Nun Iqlab and Mim Ikhfa are the same. For instance, in Nun Iqlab,we would:

A. Replace Nun with Mim

B. Pronounce Mim by closing the lips

C. Nasalize the sound

D. Open the lips by pronouncing Ba

In Mim Ikhfa, we would carry out the above b – d steps. Is this correct?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Brother
I am learning tajweed, while in the tajweed class couple of friends and I was in the discussion regarding who and when the Tajweed rules has been set. I will appreciate if anyone from this site tell me by whom and in what year Tajweed rules has been introduced.
Thanks

Assalam 'alaikum waa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

'When discussing the articulation points of the sin, zai, sad and tha, dhal, Dha you mentioned plates of the teeth and you explained that to be the long axis of the tooth, and in this case, the long axis that is on the internal side, rather than the external side of the teeth. Regrettably, I fail to understand due to my lack of knowledge. Therefore, would you be kind enough
to explain to me what are the plates of the teeth in detail, as well as the difference between the plates of the teeth and the edges of the teeth?

Question (20 Dhu-l Hijjah 1427/Jan. 10, 2007)

Salamun alaykum,

I have a question regarding pronouncing the medd which is the "Ye" medd with a kasrah before it. When I try to pronounce this, the sound is coming from the nose instead of purely from the mouth. I am having trouble fixing my pronunciation of this. Do you have any tips for practising or for ridding myself of this error?

In addition when I try to pronounce the "Ye" medd with a kasrah before it, I notice that I am pronouncing it from the throat, since when I pronounce it there is a pull in my throat. Could you also give tips for practising or how to fix this error?

JazakAllah khair. Wassalam.

Bismil-Lāhir-Rahmānir-Raheem.

’Assalāmu ‘alaikum wa rahmatul-Lāhi wa barakātuh,

What are the general stress (I do not mean nabr) rules of Arabic words, if there are any? I guess that a “long” vowel automatically has the stress, but sometimes there are no or multiple “long” vowels in a word. Maybe the concept of stress does not exist in Arabic or it is allowed to stress multiple syllables in a word?

Question (5 Dhu-l Hijjah 1427/Dec. 25, 2006)

’Assalāmu ‘alaikum wa rahmatul-Lāhi wa barakātuh,

Your question and answer service is really helpful to us, but I am not sure what I can conclude from your answer of 10 December 2006: is the timing of the leen letters the same as the timing of the other letters of the ’arrakhāwah group (although it is not measured in vowel counts) or not, because the leen letters are not considered to be in the ’arrakhāwah group or are overruled?

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

I would to like to know, if there are no signs for stopping within a verse and the verse is quite long, how would you know where it is permissible to stop, if at all.

In Surah Toubah (Chapter 9, verse 34) - starts with Yaa aiyu halla thee na aamanoe - where in this verse can you stop within this verse before it comes to the end of the verse?

I have heard many famous reciters stop in places where there are no signs.

What are the rules regarding this issue.

’Assalāmu ‘alaikum wa rahmatul-Lāhi wa barakātuh,

In for example English, words are read with tiny spaces (pauses) between them, at least that could be done. Is it true that in Qur’aan recitation those tiny spaces are omitted, so that words are read in continuum?

Assalamu aleikum

A. I am still memorizing the Quran. Before, I used to listen to the mujawwad (very slow recitation) as it helped me remember better. Up until this past Ramadan (1427 hijr) I have been using the taraweeh recitations (notably by sheikh Shuraim) to memorize the Quran.
Nevertheless, I would like your advice: Which system should I use to memorize the Quran? The mujawwad which is the slow paced recitation or the Taraweeh which is
a bit faster?

B. In verse 30 of surah 75 (Qiyamah): "ila rabbika yaw ma idhinil wa saaq". Would you please explain why the kasra tanween on the "dhal" automatically connect with the hamzat al wals to be read "idhinil". This is just an example among the many in the Quran that follow this rule. Another example is joining the last word of verse 1 in surat ikhlass (112) with the beginning of verse 2 of that same surah.
May Allah reward you greatly inshallah

Question (24 Dhu-l Qa'dah 1427/Dec. 15, 2006)

Assalamu Alaykum Brothers,

You mentioned....

------------------------------------------

"...If we are continuing after the qalqalah, it will not be as noticeable as when we stop on a word with the last letter being a qalqalah letter. We do not have to think about emphasizing it though when we stop on a word ending with a qalqalah...."

------------------------------------------

The statement "we don't have to THINK about emphasizing..." has confused me slighlty. Although, this statement is probably the reason why I have not been able to spot a clear difference between the sughra and kubra qalqalahs when recited by shuyookh.... but then if they are really the same ( apart from being the last sound ) why has the qalqalah even been categorised as two separate entities ? I mean from my limited understanding, most sounds will be much clearer and NOTICEABLE if they are the last any way, compared to being recited in the middle of an ayah.... !

So could you kindly clarify this for me, as I have been trying to emphasize qalqalah kubra more than the sughra. Please let me know if I should stop doing that and recite them the same .. and eventually expect the kubra to be clearer automatically !!

Jazakallah

Question (19 Dhu-l Qa'dah 1427/Dec. 10, 2006)

Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatu lilahi wa barakatuh

My question is about the letter "ra" in surat Al Qadr

One of the takhfeem rules of the "ra" states that if the letter "ra" is saakinah and the letter before the "ra" is also saakin and the letter preceding that saakin letter bears a fatha then the "ra" should be read with takhfeem. Therefore, and as the perfect example, is the "ra" in the five verses of surat Al Qadr (surah 97) read with takhfeem when stopping at each verse and not when continuing?

Question (11 Dhu-l Qa'dah 1427/Dec. 2, 2006)

Assalamu Alaykum Brothers,

Mashallah I would like to congratulate you for the hard work and brilliant work produced, by the permission of Allah (swt).

I have questions on: Sheikh Basfar + Abdul Bari + Suggestion + Qalqalah + Letter Ha + Ash-Shaatibiyyah.....

1) First of All, I know that so far you have only mentioned Abdullah Basfar and Sheikh Husary... but are there any other recitors (Hafs an Asim by way of Shatibiyyah) that are just as good (other than Huthaify) with complete Qur'an recordings (CD quality, mp3 if possible) available on the internet ?

2) Third of all, I was wondering whether it was possible for you to add audio examples of each of the rules as it becomes much easier to learn/understand especially for those who do not have immediate access to a good teacher. In particular, for Hafs an Asim by way of Shatibiyyah.

3) Fourth of All, in terms of Qalqalah. I know, within your notes, you mentioned that qalqalah is of two categories... the lesser and the greater, and you mentioned that the lesser occurs when the qalqalah in is the middle of a word, or at the end of a word, and we are not stopping on that word. The greater occurs when the qalqalah is the last letter of a word, and we are stopping on that word.

But what about a situation where the qalqalah is at the end of a word and is sakin (not with a tashdeed) and we DO stop on that word... ie the end of verse 19 in surah inshiqaq ( ... tabaq ). So when you stop on 'tabaq' will be pronounce it like the lesser or the greator.. or will it be another category altogether !? Obviously it can't be pronounced like 'Tab' in surah lahab which has a tashdeed..... then how do we pronounce it ?

Also, I was originally taught that it contains three levels of intensity, a sukoon in the middle of a word, a sukoon at the end of a word, and a shaddah at the end of a word.... Could you please clarify this for me .

4) I would like to ask you about the letter 'ha' which seems to be part of the hams and therefore one shaikh when reciting this in surah fatihah verse 5 ( Ihh-di nasiratal mustaqeem ), kind of like enforces the 'ha' and slows down on it before pronouncing the daal after the ha. But why doesn't he pronounce the 'ha' in the same manner when it is the last letter of a word... I mean shouldn't this letter ( ha ) still have the same characteristics and therefore be pronounced in the same way whether in the middle of a word or at the end.. so for example the word 'Raajifah' at the end of verse 6 in surah 'Naazi'aat'. I know that it is actually a 'taa marbutah', but since stopping on it.. it is pronounced like a haa instead of a taa.... so why does the sheikh recite it much quicker and with less emphasis then the haa in surah fatihah !?

6) Finally, I know in Arabic you have written Hafs an Asim min Tareeqi Ash-Shatibiyyah, but should it not be Hafs an Asim min Tareeqati Ash-Shaatibiyaah ? I mean shouldn't there be a taa marbootah at the end of Tareeq ? Much Appreciated.

Assalamu Alaykum,

Question (10 Dhu-l Qa'dah 1427/Dec. 1, 2006)

Assalamualiakum

I have two questions

1. In some explanations of tafkheem and isti'la they look like the same .As I know Ra’ has instifal but when It comes with fatha or dhummah it will have tafkheem. If I rise my inner part of my tongue I think it will be isti'la. I'm thinking not to rise my tongue but it difficult to make it tafkheem or maybe I misunderstand the concept

2. As I know fatha mean open. It mean our voice come out from mouth smoothly without or with minimal disturbance. I heard many good recitors and found the concept is there. But some recitors, when they pronounce tafkheem I can hear their voice go to the roof more clear if it comes with madd. Can you give some explanation about this? Thank you.

Question (8 Dhu-l Qa'dah 1427/Nov. 29 2006)

Assalamu Aleikum wa rahmatu lilahi wa barakatuh

A) One of the tarqeeq rules of the "ra" is if the letter "ra" has a kasra (or kasra with tanwin). My question is the following:
What if the letter "ra" has a kasra with a shadda on top of it such as verse 1 of surah Tahriim :"...lima tuHarrimu Maa..."? Should the letter "ra" still be read with tarqeeq of with tafkheem because of the shadda?

B) Since in the recitation of Warsh the word Maliki in surat Al Fatiha and in surat An Naas is written the same, what is the difference in meaning in the recitation of Hafs since in Hafs it is written Maaliki in Al Fatiha and Maliki in surat AnNaas?

Assalamu aleikum

My interests reside in the recitation of Khalaf. I would like to know whether there is a rule that requires a sakt (breathless pause) after each of the long vowel (aa-uu-ii) in Arabic in the recitation of Khalaf.
As an example, I heard a qari recite surat Qaf verse 6 such as: "Afalam yanDhuruuuuuu (6 vowel count + sakt) ila-s-samaaaaaa (6 vowel count + sakt) i fawqahum...."
I also heard another recite surat Al Balad verse 1 as follow: "Laaaaaa (6 vowel count + sakt) uqsimu bi hadhal balad"

Question (5 Dhu-l Qa'dah 1427/Nov. 26 2006)

Assalaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu.

I know that the ikhfaa of the noon saakinah before the letters of qaaf and kaaf is read closer to ith-haar due to the distance between the makhraj of the noon and the qaaf and kaaf.

Since qaaf is from the letters of tafkheem, the ikhfaa of noon saakinah before the qaaf is read with tafkheem also.

How are the 2 instructions reconciled? Is the ikhfaa before qaaf read with tafkheem and a closeness to ith-haar and the ikhfaa before kaaf read with a closeness to ith-haar only?

I suppose what I am getting at is: is there a difference between the ikhfaa of noon saakinah before a qaaf and kaaf?

1. In reciting the verse 77:20 according to Hafs by the way of Shatibi, as I understand, the Qaf can be assimilated (idgham) into the Kaf either partially or completely. I read, however, that in reciting this verse by the way of Tayyibah, only complete assimilation is allowed. Is this correct ? (The pdf document on your website does not mention this)

2. In reciting Hafs by the way of Tayyibah, would the "la" in "La ilaha illallah" be elongated two or four harakat?

3. Are there any principle tajweed differences between the riwayah of Hafs and Shu'bah, or are the differences only in the recitation of particular words?

Question (20 Shawwal1427/Nov. 11 2006)

Assalamalaikum!

I found this website really helpful. May Allah bless you all (Aameen). I am a non Arab student of tajweed. I have some questions regarding characteristics of letters.

I studied in characteristics' chapter that every letter at least five characteristics. I am unable to understand how I can apply all the characteristics of a letter at one time. Suppose if I am reciting the word Ahad in this word letter daal has 6 characteristics----1 Al Jahr 2 Ash shiddah 3 Al Istifaal 4 Al Infitah 5 Al Ismaat 6 Al Qalqalah

How all the 6 characteristics can come at one time during recitation

In another word Mushrekeen letter sheen has 6 characteristics--- 1 Al Hams

2 Al riqwah 3 Al Istefaal 4 Al Infetah

5 Al Ismaat 6 Al tafashi

How I will recite the word Mushrekeen that cover all the 6 characteristics together. I am unable to do that is there any certain rule for that?

My second question is all the characteristics are found in a letter only when they are sakin or mutharrik or both?

I am having hard time to understand characteristics of letters. I found this chapter toughest in all tajweed rules. I am trying my best. Is it really tough part of tajweed syllabus or only I am feeling like this?

Please guide me May Allah reward you here and here after (Aameen).

I. How is silent recitation done (in Salaah, but also in du‘aa’ and zikr; perhaps you could treat them separately, if there is a difference in the (silent) recitation between them)? I know from ’ahādees that it has movement of the mouth. Is it:

A) with a low voice?

B) whispering?

C) only moving mouth and tongue and thinking of it (without producing any sound)?

D) Is there anything that can be “recited” like C or without movement of mouth (only thinking), like du‘aa’ maybe?

E) Could you please provide hadees to support your answer (to I)?
